Proof of concept for CI mobile test builds on SauceLabs and Amazon Device Farm.

Notes:

1. Install python3
2. Install virtualenv
3. virtualenv .env --python3
4. pip install -r requirements.txt
5. pip install shovel # Note Shovel inside requirements.txt will break ADF build process.

How it works

This setup depends on an upstream Jenkins build job that publishes an artifact for test. For Sauce, it needs a Zip file with the contents of the app, for Amazon it requires an iPhone Archive Application (TapIt.ipa) file, for local testing, it requires a debug version of the app. (a directory)

The SUT should be copied into the './staging/' folder from the upstream job via the Jenkins copy artifacts plugin.

#Sauce Labs

SauceLabs configure enviornment variables: export RUN_TARGET=SAUCE export TEST_NAME=name.your.build export SAUCE_USER=joesomebody export SAUCE_KEY=very-secret-key

Shell script for Jenkins to run after setting up a Python VirtualEnv

    set -e # immediate stop if error.

    echo "Installing Dependencies"
    pip install shovel
    pip install -r requirements.txt

    #echo "Publishing app to saucelabs"
    #shovel sauce.deploy

    echo "Running tests"
    shovel test.run

#Amazon Device Farm Setup

Install Amazon Device Farm Jenkins plugin and follow instructions - http://docs.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm/latest/developerguide/continuous-integration-jenkins-plugin.html

For the test option, select Python/Appium, then enter "test_bundle.zip"

Then add a build task. In the build task, add a shell script,

    pip install shovel
    shovel amazon.package # this will create a test_bundle.zip file for upload.
